Music teachers made a difference in my life. I probably would have given up on music if I didn't have patient and supportive teachers showing me the way. This is how I strive to teach music now.

Working in collaborative environments like theatre and choirs have shown me the different types of people and situations that come with performing of any kind. Read More

My style of teaching revolves around a solid foundation in technique and proper ways to practice. This is the hardest part about having music lessons, because its all about muscle memory. I advise learning the basics before jumping straight into learning pieces. It's very important to play the right way, and more importantly, practice the right way.
